Thank you all for your responses, very helpful.  I will try to have my Sony crossover fixed as it's a great piece and would like to keep it.  If not able to do so I will look into getting the Marchand.

These don't measure too bad.

I am currently using a Marchand and it works as advertised, it doesn't do anything deleterious to the signal.  Having said that I would attempt to have the Sony rebuilt simply because you obviously like what it does.

I have not seen mixed reviews for Marchand.  Occasionally used ones come up for sale.  New are 800 to 1000 approx.  

There is also a new brand that advertises quality parts used.  The name escapes me.  They have 2 models priced at $599 and $799.

I would also fix the old one, if possible. 

I had a Marchand crossover and it was an exceptional piece.  Well-built and sounded great.

Something else to consider is looking at what minidsp has to offer.  

I suggest you see if any of the Marchand models is suitable.

Thank you all for your advice.  I'll look into the CS Port and trying to find a good repair shop.

I believe this would work.

Supports all standard crossover points and slopes + has built in EQ which is very handy for taming bass modes.

right now the state of the art for analog crossovers is the CS Port ACN400. but it’s not cheap. if you want a cheap one it will likely need to be digital, or a cheap pro-audio product from a web site like Sweetwater.

suggest you find a local electronics repair shop and take it for a service/restoration. you may find it can be repaired easily. 

Its definitely worth saving. and after a restoration probably sound like new.
